About Tricia
Tricia Benson is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through difficult life moments. She provides a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and be heard. Tricia is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
She works in a way that follows each person's pace and needs. Sessions focus on listening first, then gently noticing patterns in feelings and relationships. This simple, steady approach helps when stress, anxiety or depression feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
Tricia uses client-centred methods that keep the person at the heart of the session. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences may shape present reactions. Attachment-based work helps people understand how they relate to others and to themselves.
Her background includes work with UK charities and local services such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service. That experience has involved supporting people through grief, caring roles, end-of-life issues and other major life changes.
Tricia helps with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, ADHD, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, panic, low self-esteem and career pressures. She also offers support for people dealing with guilt, isolation, seasonal mood shifts and pregnancy or childbirth challenges.
If someone wants to start, Tricia encourages a simple first step: a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a session. She aims to make starting therapy straightforward and respectful of each person's needs.

Approaches Tricia lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Tricia will discuss what feels most helpful at the start and adapt approaches as goals and needs become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist decide together what to focus on.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit deeper conversations when face-to-face connection matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter updates, note-taking between sessions or when fitting therapy around busy days.
